In response he provided me with a detailed account of what he recalled about the mysterious events in December 1980. Col Conrad’s story puts a completely different perspective on the case and directly challenges the story of his deputy,

Col Conrad told me he finds it very difficult to comment “given how huge the story has grown from its humble beginnings to the sensation it has now become”

Nice. The episodes of Howard Hughes' show on the subject are some of the best radio I've ever heard. I think the idea that the aliens have a Prime Directive --and the only time they've really broken it is because the Cold War was about to go boom-- just endlessly fascinating. Plus, Fishbourne. What an actor.

If you want to talk about the shear number of highly reliable eyewitnesses to a reported UFO event, you'd be hard pressed to top this one.

And I know that some people go by "seeing is believing" and won't believe UFO's exist until they themselves see one. But sometimes you have to have a *little* faith in your fellow man, too. My feeling is, it's the real mean deal. I hope to catch it.

I both love and hate this story. The eye witness accounts by reputable people is nearly unparalleled. I have little doubt that something amazing happened that night.

Where it went off the rails is when that one guy who saw the craft up close, close enough to see symbols on it, then goes on to tell people he believed it was time traveling humans.

Like where the hell did that come from? How did he reach that conclusion? And talks about it like it’s an absolute fact.

Makes me think the guy is trying to throw a turd in the punch bowl, to discredit the story.

Couldn't agree more, my man. No proof of that at all.

I will add however, that once string theory became widely accepted, I changed my view of alleged alien UFO's and took into consideration, it may indeed be humans from the future. Either way, it can't be proven in this case or any other. for now :-)

Jim Penniston touched the mysterious glyphs on the craft's surface. As soon as he did, he became engulfed in a bright light and lost all sight and sound. When he came to, he found himself standing near the craft. It took off and vanished. The following day he began to see images in his mind of thousands of ones and zeros. He didn't know what they were but wrote them down in his notebook.

30 years later, in 2010, he was contacted by the producers of a TV series called Ancient Aliens. It was because of this that he revealed the existence of his notebook filled with ones and zeros. It turns out the ones and zeros were binary code - and, with the help of experts, he had it translated:

It consisted of what seemed to be coordinates to locations around the world: Caracol, Belize; Sedona, Arizona; the Great Pyramid of Giza; the Nazca Lines in Peru; Tai Shan Qu, China; the Portara at the Temple of Apollo in Nexos, Greece; and a purported location of the mysterious phantom island Hy-Brasil which, according to legend, lay just west of Ireland.

The notebook contains descriptions of a landed craft of unknown origin (see below) that Penniston claims to have examined for 45 minutes and even touched, along with sketches of hieroglyphic inscriptions he says were engraved on its side. None of the other witnesses that night claims to have seen any such craft, only lights. Hence this document deserves closer scrutiny than it has hitherto received. The results raise serious doubts about its authenticity.

I am surprised that the notebook does not use zulu time.

Hence, as Penniston’s story has grown, it has become riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions that serve only to cast further doubt on the veracity of his extraordinary claims.
